Beautiful Thessaloniki faces out over the sea and the peaks of Mount Olympus and is embraced by hills. Its towers and priceless archaeological monuments bear witness to its long history. Founded in 315 BC by Cassander, General of Alexander the Great, it has been destroyed seven times and then rebuilt with pride and perseverance.

Today, it stands proudly over the Thermaic Gulf and is a pole of attraction for Greek and foreign visitors who flood the city to admire its monuments, museums, and the architecture of its buildings, to experience the vibrant rhythms of its entertainment and to taste its unique delicacies, including those offered by its remarkable gastro tavernas.

They are firmly rooted in traditional Greek cuisine and add unique modern touches that do not alter the flavour canvas of the dishes. After a recent visit to the northern capital, we’re recommending here the five gastro tavernas that stand out the most. With their creative cuisine, stylish drinks, warm hospitality, and relaxed, well-designed surroundings, they offer memorable experiences.
